Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Old Town Alexandria based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our managers from the start, they will probably be rude as tenants. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has troubles scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same person will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even when every action initially is promising we still vet every potential tenant with a full background check. Every person and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.
How we protect the landlord’s interests in Old Town Alexandria:

"I am by nature a trusting person, but this business has taught me to verify every statement that a tenant makes. Scammers and bad tenants can sometimes give every appearance of being trustworthy and upright people. We never cut corners on background checks." ~ Will Nesbitt

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
